     My father brought a Encyclopedia Britannia which I loved reading.   
     I would just grab a volume at random, to start, and read from cover to   
   cover.  Later I would read it starting with Volume One.   
     That disappeared in a move when I was around 13/14.

   they were watching,    
      
     Same here.     
     Until I was 18, and on my own, there was only one tv in the house.  And   
   before cable was thought of and only three or four channels.   
     Now I don't even have a tv.  Got rid of it years ago.  And I don't miss   
   it.

     I guess I was around 10 at the time.  Had a ride to school then get home   
   on my own.   
     Today a 10 year-old riding a bus alone would cause a lot of people to go   
   into a swoon.   
      
   > Naturally, I sat in the first seats I found empty   
      
     I like to ride in back.  That way I can keep an eye on what's going on   
   around me.   
      
   > When older folk, especially witgh canes, entewred the bus, I was up like a

      At my age that is getting more and more rare.  :)

      Agreed.
